The Crowbar — Restaurant in Overland

I previously had good experiences with the bar, and was overjoyed to find a bar that was a few blocks from my house, but my last visit, my husband and I took a good friend on her birthday to get some drinks and a few games of pool and darts. Upon arriving, my friend had to use the restroom, and wanted me to accompany her, and the bartender, an older woman, came around the bar and asked if she could help us in an unfriendly way.

We stopped, and she told her that it was her birthday, and asked if they had any birthday drink specials.

By the way the pool tables are amazing. A handful to choose from and the quality is outstanding. I will be returning the first weekend of June to play some more pool and chat some more about the California beaches. Thank you Betty for an...

I have always recommended the Crow Bar because they are one of very few with no smoking. We were there and the place smelled of cigarette smoke. Asked the bartender, she said no, tell me if someone is. So later I tell her I don't know who is but it reeks. She says oh well that's the back door and the owner you'll have to talk to him. I did but still kept smelling like cigarette smoke. Obviously not no...
